Happy New Year's everyone!

Favorite movies from 2018:
There are many movies I enjoyed seeing this year and I had many favorites, but here are a few. (I had many many favorite movies from 2018,
but if I included all of them, it would make the post really really long.) The Incredibles 2

Though this movie was not released in 2018 I watched it for the first time this year
and enjoyed it. And the beasts in the movie were so cute.
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)

favorite music from 2018:
October by Lena Stone
You can also listen to it here
One of my favorite artists released a song called October in 2018,
which I really like and have listened to even when it is not October.
Jabberwocky performed by Erutan
You can also listen to it here
One of my favorite singers, Erutan, began singing again in 2018,
which is wonderful since I was worried that she would never sing again.
Tarts performed by Erutan
You can also listen to it here
This is also a favorite song of mine that she made in 2018.
She is actually planning on making an Alice in Wonderland themed album which will be awesome.
Left of Center by Suzanne Vega
You can also listen to it here
I found out about a singer in 2018, called Suzanne Vega,
and I like the style of her music. (Though her music was not released in 2018)
Warmer in the Winter by Lindsey Stirling
You can also listen to it here
I really enjoy this Lindsey Stirling song. Also it is so neat that the music video
had to be filmed all in one take without breaks.
Think of Me from Phantom of the Opera
You can also listen to it here
This is one of the first songs I heard from Phantom of the Opera.
Main titles- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
You can also listen to it here
I loved the whole soundtrack from Fantastic Beasts,
but I thought that this song sounded very mysterious.
Smoke and Mirrors by Kalie Shorr
You can also listen to it here
Though this is one of Kalie's older songs. I recently found out about it,
and it has become one of my favorites of hers.
(Also it kind of reminds me of my character Lady Annabelle.)
Sidewalk Someday by Chloe Gilligan
You can also listen to it here
I really enjoyed this new song.
Other: In 2018 I found out about a YouTube channel that talked about getting dressed in certain time periods.
Getting dressed in 1816- Mary Shelley
You can also watch it here
At the time I watched this I had been reading Frankenstein.
Getting Dressed in 1665 Delft
You can also watch it here
This was one of the first videos of theirs that I watched.
Getting Dressed- Dickensian Christmas (1853)
You can also watch it here
I managed to get there in time when this premiered and watched it then.
